Oslo

Oslo is a county and municipality, as well as the capital and largest city in Norway. Oslo was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838. Founded around 1048 by King Harald III "Hardraade" of Norway, the city was largely destroyed by fire in 1624. The Danish–Norwegian king Christian IV moved the city, rebuilding it closer to Akershus fortress, as Christiania (briefly also spelt Kristiania). In 1925, the city reclaimed its original Norwegian name, Oslo. The diocese of Oslo is one of the five original dioceses in Norway, which originated around the year 1070.

Beautiful resort with frinedly staff.....

We would DEFINITELY recommend the resort. It was beautiful with friendly staff and delicious food. It was low-key, yet fun. We went on one excursion, which was excellent (swimming with sea turtles and swimming in a cave), and we took the bus to Tulum and Playa del Carmen. I was very glad we weren’t staying in Playa del Carmen, which was SO packed with people. We are still planning our biking expedition for 2027 and would be happy to take next...
